Angry Plankton Meme - It's a screen shot taken from the Spongebob Squarepants series where the character, Plankton, is seen hunched over, clenched fists, veins all over his body straining, sweat dripping from his forehead, teeth gritted and has bloodshot eyes as though he's angry or straining. Note: Plankton is like...imagine a pickle the size of your thumb with two antenna on top of it, arms and legs, a strong unibrow and one eye.

First World Problems meme - A photo of a white woman crying that is typically used in the context to describe a "first world problem" the OP is suffering from (or to be incredibly facetious).

Jackalope Totem 🐇✨🦌✨

This piece was an experiment to try out not just a new flower motif (Prairie Fire), but a new way of playing with colour!
I also wanted an excuse to sculpt a big jackalope as well 😛

A large ceramic black sgraffito jackalope sculpture featuring a beautiful green and red plant that is the Prairie Fire—a plant that resembles a fire-y red paintbrush.

My car's at the shop right now, and it makes me sad whenever I go into the garage and it's not there. House feels oddly empty without it.

Me when it comes to my big 3
Drowning Kid + Skeleton Meme. In this meme, there are two images stacked on top of each other. The top image features a mother happily giving attention to one child while another one is off to the side really struggling. The text over each character reads: Mom (ME) Happy Child (My Rising Sign) Drowning Child (My Sun Sign) The bottom image features that of a skeleton sitting in the bottom of a lake in a chair. The text paired with this skeleton reads: My Moon Sign. The vibe of the meme is a reflection of one's attention and priorities.

Me whenever I want to bake something that uses apples, and I see the amount of prep work that's involved.

Absolutely beautiful full moon this morning.
And I happened upon a (not cursed) skull today on my morning walk.

idk why but full moons feel more like the time to set intentions, and new moons are for releasing/fruition vs the other way around.

I hated my previous dentist, and this year I decided that I didn't have to put up with them anymore.

Just got done with my new dentist and absolutely LOVE THEM!!!
I take good care of my teeth, and normally don't going to the dentist. But now, I'm not afraid of being unnecessarily harmed!!!
